Mystery Woman Sleuth
Personal vendettas,
hidden treasure, and a monkey named Carl will send bounty hunter
Stephanie Plum on her most explosive adventure yet.
The Crime: Armed robbery to the tune of nine million
dollars
Dom Rizzi robbed a bank, stashed the money, and did the
time. His family couldn’t be more proud. He always was the
smart one.
The Cousin: Joe Morelli
Joe Morelli, Dom Rizzi, and Dom’s sister, Loretta, are
cousins. Morelli
is a cop, Rizzi robs banks, and Loretta is a single mother
waiting
tables at the firehouse. The all-American family.
The Complications: Murder, kidnapping, destruction
of personal property, and acid reflux Less
than a week after Dom’s release from prison, Joe Morelli has
shadowy
figures breaking into his house and dying in his basement.
He’s getting
threatening messages, Loretta is kidnapped, and Dom is missing.
The Catastrophe: Moonman Morelli hires Walter
“Mooner”
Dunphy, stoner and “inventor” turned crime fighter, to
protect his
house. Morelli can’t afford a lot on a cop’s salary, and
Mooner will
work for potatoes.
The Cupcake: Stephanie Plum Stephanie and Morelli
have a
long-standing relationship that involves sex, affection, and
driving
each other nuts. She’s a bond enforcement agent with more
luck than
talent, and she’s involved in this bank-robbery-gone-bad
disaster from
day one.
The Crisis: A favor for Ranger
Security expert Carlos Manoso, street name Ranger, has a job for
Stephanie that will involve night work. Morelli has his own
ideas
regarding Stephanie’s evening activities.
The Conclusion: Only the fearless should read
Fourteen.
